What value divided by 42 equals 81?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 81?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 81 = 3402

To prove this, let's compute 3402 divided by 42: 3402 42 = 81

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 81 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 81

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 81
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 81 = 3402

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 81, the dividend is 3402.
